DuPont Code of Conduct

OUR CODE

Raising Concerns and Non-Retaliation

We must maintain an environment where everyone can speak up without fearing retaliation. Every DuPont employee has a responsibility to speak up when there are questions or concerns about ethics or compliance. Many resources are available to help you.

Your manager or supervisor is often the best resource because they know your role and responsibilities. If you’re uncomfortable speaking with them or they’re unavailable, you can also reach out to:

Your business, function, or site leadership.

Your Corporate Compliance Officer or Ethics Champion.

Legal or Finance.

Human Resources (especially for workplace issues like disrespectful behavior, discrimination, or harassment).

The DuPont Ethics Hotline, which is a free, multilingual service for employees and non-employees to report concerns. Visit the Ethics and Compliance Hotline for details.

We treat all reports confidentially and share information only with those who need to address the concern. You can choose to remain anonymous, and we will protect your identity whenever possible and where allowed by law. 

What is misconduct?

Misconduct may include any violation of the law, this Code, or company policies. It may also be unethical conduct or the misuse of company resources, among other things that are harmful to others or DuPont. We take all reported matters seriously and will take appropriate action when violations are confirmed. 

We are committed to creating an open environment where concerns can be raised. We do not allow anyone to restrict or discourage reporting of theft, fraud, waste, abuse, human rights concerns, or any suspected misconduct. Retaliation is strictly forbidden. We investigate all cases of retaliation and hold violators accountable.
